According to Mr. ...Latino is not a racial category. According to Mr. Neely Fuller there are only 3 racial categories, White people, White Supremacists and Non-White people. I agree with Gus although I also agree with Mr. Fuller’s Logic. For me it’s 2 racial categories, White and Non-White. The reasoning is in my opinion whites and White Supremacists are the same exact thing. For me I view the white baby and the white person that may now be senile, still as White Supremacists. The White baby will grow up to practice Racism and the old white person most likely has practiced Racism in their lifetime. And for me once a White Supremacists always a White Supremacists, I could be incorrect. To your question about the so called Latino ( this word, I think may be in the word guide not to use) it’s really comes down as to whether or not this individual is accepted as being white, by other whites. If he looks white and functions as white, and other whites accept him as white, then he just may be white.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04078009505568981733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044447769909812234.post-68846489455325362402017-01-03T22:03:43.462-08:002017-01-03T22:03:43.462-08:00I just showed my dad this movie for first time ton...I just showed my dad this movie for first time tonight....January 4, 2017...this my first time trying to watch the movie since the night it came out.....I had such high hopes because Jon was sooooooo great in Attack the Block.....but everything original poster said I saw when first seeing the movie except the now obvious thing that my dad pickrd up when he first heard him called FN.....My dad said on first thought...so his name Fucking Nigger?

Over reaching for something, simply because I hadn't researched enough. so FN-2187... I couldn't figure out what the hell FN would designate in the military. but I instantly picked up on the number, 187 = murder / kill... "(As in FN – Fucking Nigger came to mind for me)" = Fucking Nigger 2 Kill... Fucking Nigger to Kill.<br /><br />I'm still not sure what the FN designates, but a quick search shows that 2187, 21/87, 21-87.. are to pay homage to George Lucas' film class, it's been in ever movie he has made, it was even the cell number princess leia was being held in!<br /><br />http://www.telegraph.co.uk/film/star-wars-the-force-awakens/finn-john-boyega-george-lucas-fn-2187/<br /><br />Maybe FN = Huckleberry Finn, Finn, FN... Conclusions are easy to skew before we take the time to educate ourselves. because before we break through our own ignorance, these skewed explanations seem so plausible! And after rational, informed, and hey deductive reasoning, we can form an educated opinion.<br /><br />Same can be said for all that is going on in the world. we jump to conclusions! me for instance, I'm Cuban-American for clarification, but 100% American. But unless I cary a DNA report, I'm treated like Whity McCracker... even though my grandfather left Cuba to get away from Castro's dictatorship and oppression!<br /><br />Perspective.

While as a proud black man...Boyega aka Finn role in this movie leaves much to be desired. However i dont think it was intentional racism....i think, as one commenter stated...it is possible unintentional racism, and mainly poor writing that created much imbalance in the movie. <br /><br />The problem in my opinion is this....Black people for so long have had our image tarnished...and outright nearly destroyed....we have been falsely portrayed as savage, unintelligent, unattractive, fearful, cowardly, criminal...and every other possible negative description you can think of. So at the very least we are extremely sensitive about our image in any portrayal because most portrayals have been bad. <br /><br />So any portrayal of us that may seem to reinforce any of the historical negative portrayals we have had tp contend with, we automatically assume are intentional. And thing is...some are inadvertently intentional...because the fact is...many whites just like many of us...have been brainwashed with false history an false stereotypes....because some simply dont know any betterAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897519724817265989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044447769909812234.post-26995632790650782042016-04-11T01:24:33.404-07:002016-04-11T01:24:33.404-07:00You do know this story is based in a galaxy far fa...You do know this story is based in a galaxy far far away a long time ago...not the future? totalblackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182300371610526346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044447769909812234.post-22673263957806851122016-02-19T06:56:55.840-08:002016-02-19T06:56:55.840-08:00Great review.

Off the top of my head; he didn't do "his job" because the other stormtroopers he trained with and was friends with got killed in the opening act- when the blood of his friend smeared his helmet he had an awakening.. THE FORCE AWAKENS. He didn't steal a coat- it was on the ground in the desert from the crash. He didn't chase Rey he was running from the fucking explosions when the imperials were attacking!! He didn't jack Han's ride he was escaping off planet with the nearest ship available. This shit had better be satire and not an honest to goodness article:<br />"In my estimation, all Stormtroopers are non-white black males who have been enslaved to work on the plantation" WHAT LOL? SO by his estimation John117 aka Masterchief and the other Spartans would be black slaves as well. SMH<br />Poe "whose jacket he stole" isn't even white he's fking Latino so I don't get that shit either. He didn't brand him Finn for any other reason than his military name is FN... I can't even go on beyond that but this read is ludicrous and close minded. <br />On top of that, he fucking not on beat down that enhanced trooper towards the end of the movie but he also went face to face with the leader of the Knights of Ren- Kylo.. so him being weak? Nah.. just nah<br />What pisses me off the most here is that if Finn was just another white dude there wouldn't be shit said but because he is a black actor in a predominately white movie.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02100193617325853516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044447769909812234.post-71828526200492826952016-01-27T17:10:41.650-08:002016-01-27T17:10:41.650-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02100193617325853516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044447769909812234.post-6496499499332186772016-01-27T15:58:54.969-08:002016-01-27T15:58:54.969-08:00Finn's trooper code is FN2187.

There are several other troopers with similar Id codes (FN2199 - the trooper armed with stun baton)<br /><br />Him being named Finn has little to do with racism and more to do with FN being pronounced phonetically.<br /><br />It is his compassion (a good and honest character trait) that costs him on Jakku, not his alleged incompetence or because of the colour of his skin.<br /><br /><br />Rey getting the jump on him makes sense in the context of the movie - he just crash landed and is completely disoriented. It stands to reason he wouldnt be at full 100. <br /><br />Rey snapping at him "Why are you touching me" isn't so much racism as it is a reflection of Ray's self independent (Mary sue) characterization.<br /><br />Rey's idea was to steal the falcon, not Finn. Finn manned the guns, the movie established that he can shoot but can't fly in the scenes prior. There's no issue here - both (white female and black male since we are on the topic of racism) work together to get out of the sitiation! That's the very opposite of racism!<br /><br />Finn's in constant need of help yes (I noticed this one whilst watching) But this is more to do with poor writing rather than any intended racism.<br /><br /><br />The kiss scene is fine, it works in the context of the movie. Having Rey full on kiss a then comatose Finn would be weird as hell - there's no need for a lip lock and the sweetness of the scene is still retained; it keeps the door open for their relationship to blossom in the sequels.<br /><br />TFA has a lot of problems yes (IMO more than any of the prequels). But intentional racism? No. Unintentional and by-productal racism, possibly. Poor writing that is more concerned with having one super strong female lead at the expense of every other character instead of a balanced ensemble cast? Most definitely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4044447769909812234.post-72719474562090365542016-01-27T12:37:30.196-08:002016-01-27T12:37:30.196-08:00It was brought to my attention that Poe *Pilot/Whi...It was brought to my attention that Poe *Pilot/Whiteman* is indeed a Latino....How does this alter the original thought or post of the blogger here?

Mr. Fuller defines the concept in this way:<br /><br />(1) A Term used in a ball game called "pool".<br /><br />It means, in racial terms, that a <b> white </b> person is directly, or indirectly, the cause of a <b> Black </b> and/or non-white person doing any kind of unjust harm to another Black and/or non-white person.<br /><br />The purpose for this tactic is to <b>hide </b> the fact that the harm done was <b>caused</b> by the white person who was the <b>master</b> of the situation, and not the non-white person who acted as a mere ignorant, arrogant, and/or fearful, tool and servant.<br /><br />(2) The practice of White Supremacists (Racists) using their power in such manner as to force, bribe, terrify, etc., some non-white persons, into acts of harm to other non-white persons.<br /><br />This is from page 255 of Mr. Fuller's Code Book.Gus T.
